Bang!

The sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh rang out as Guo Qing collapsed to the ground with a thud. Qin Daoshi, who was unable to move, looked at the suicidal Guo Qing with horror in his eyes.

Guo Qingming was clearly murdered, yet he wore a relieved smile on his face. This bizarre scene made Master Qin's already panicked eyes even more terrified.

Move! Move it now!

Master Qin frantically channeled his inner power, trying to break free from the immobilized state, but he couldn't.

His magic allowed him to move, but his body seemed not to belong to him at all, completely disobeying his commands.

"I still don't understand where you get such murderous intent—"

Zhao Zheng slowly rose from the armchair and looked expressionlessly at Master Qin, whom he had met again.

The sound faded, and the person collapsed.

Like Guo Qing, Master Qin committed suicide and collapsed to the ground, a relieved smile on his face, which looked eerie and sinister.

This time, Zhao Zheng did not let Master Qin go, because he felt—oh well, he didn't feel anything anymore, he could just kill him if he wanted to.

Since when has murder ever needed an excuse?

As for why the two did not resist but instead mysteriously committed suicide, it was because Zhao Zheng used the supreme Buddhist teachings in the "Scripture of the Myriad Forms of Salvation" that guide people towards goodness.

In his view, all living beings are trapped in birth, old age, sickness and death. Resistance will only increase the karma of killing. Only by facing death with equanimity can one sever all worldly ties and return to emptiness, thus embarking on the path of good and no longer committing evil and suffering.

In short, he killed the other person for their own good!

"I feel like my Buddhist practice is a little off—" Zhao Zheng muttered to himself. After muttering to himself, he looked at a figure with an ugly expression who appeared at the door.

The visitor was none other than Master Zhang from the first timeline!

In the first playthrough, Zhang Daoren, who was killed by him with a single shot because he wanted his Tai'a sword, became Gan Nai Dubai's sworn brother.

Zhao Zheng wasn't surprised that the other party had appeared a day early, because he knew that some things were inevitable, just like the death of his master and the death of Guo Qing.

"You are very good!"

Standing at the door, Master Zhang looked at the corpses of Guo Qing and Master Qin on the ground with a grim expression. It seemed that his voice had been too loud and had disturbed Master Qin's two disciples in the main hall.

When Master Qin's two disciples came over and saw the two corpses on the ground, they were stunned and speechless. They had originally wanted to greet Master Zhang, but they were taken aback by the sight of the two corpses on the ground.

"Master!" ×2

Bang! Bang! Bang—

Three gunshots rang out from the custom-made Colt pistol in Zhao Zheng's hand, and Master Qin and his two disciples were instantly reunited.

The main theme is a family together, all together!

However, to Zhao Zheng's surprise, Master Zhang actually dodged his bullet, which made him think with some astonishment.

"What, has Master Zhang's skill improved?"

The answer is no. Master Zhang's skills did not improve. He was able to dodge Zhao Zheng's bullets mainly because he was always very wary of Zhao Zheng.

The reason was that he couldn't figure out what kind of magic Guo Qing and the other person had been poisoned to death, so he remained vigilant.

That's how he dodged the bullet!

Having successfully dodged the bullet, Master Zhang, his face grim, retreated behind the incense burner in the courtyard of the Taoist temple and spoke.

"Boy, how dare you! Do you know you've broken the rules?" Master Zhang said to Zhao Zheng with an extremely ugly expression.

"I can't be bothered to reason with you; you're not worthy to listen!"

Zhao Zheng spoke expressionlessly, raised his Colt again, and pulled the trigger once more, aiming at Zhang Daoshi.

Thud! Thud! Thud—

A series of gunshots rang out, and just as Master Zhang was struggling to dodge four more bullets by using the large incense burner in front of him.

Zhao Zheng thought of a problem: his bullets could also be considered his attacks, right? He activated his talent, Greed and Cruelty!

The power of four oceans is unleashed!

Attack +200% - Activate!

Thud—

A much louder gunshot rang out, sparks flew from the muzzle, and the bullet slammed into the incense burner, causing the cast iron surface to crack and blast out an irregular small hole.

Iron filings flew everywhere, and incense ash was scattered by the shockwave. The bullet, still moving with undiminished momentum, pierced the chest of Master Zhang, who was hiding behind the incense burner, with deadly accuracy.

A muffled groan escaped from the pale-faced Taoist priest Zhang, who stared blankly at his clothes, which were quickly stained red with blood.

He looked incredulously at Zhao Zheng, who had come to his side and taken out a new magazine, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

"How dare you kill me!"

"You're ready to kill me, so why can't I kill you?" Zhao Zheng asked with a strange look in his eyes, pulling back the bolt and firing the trigger.

boom-

Master Zhang has died once again!

"Start looting the corpse!"

Zhao Zheng muttered to himself, somewhat anticipating whether Guo Qing and the other two would provide him with a different cultivation method this time.

Just then, his ears twitched, he raised an eyebrow and turned to look at the main entrance, unleashing the power of his innate greed and cruelty, which now held the power of two oceans.

Attack +100%!

The pistol trigger was pulled immediately!

A loud scream came from the Taoist priest who pushed open the door. The deceased was none other than Zhang Daoshi's disciple.

"What is destined cannot be changed."

As Zhao Zheng was thinking about looting the corpse, a cold snort suddenly rang out from behind a voice mixed with a hint of anger, carried by a gust of wind.

"You claim to be a righteous person, yet you indiscriminately kill innocent people. How is your behavior any different from that of evil demons and heretics!"

""

Before the words were finished, a blurry figure suddenly solidified in front of Zhao Zheng, raising his hand to form the Dou Shu Yuan Seal.

Zhao Zheng saw that the opponent's body was filled with pure energy, and when he opened his large palm, a blazing white lightning bolt emerged, displaying both a murderous aura and pure yang fire.

As soon as the lightning flashed and the thunderous sound began, amidst the magnificent divine power, crimson and white lightning arcs rolled like pythons, pressing down with the might of the Nine Heavens' pure energy.

As the palm strike raged, scorching white arcs of electricity crackled and exploded in the air, melting the edges of the bullet holes in the incense burner in the courtyard until they became soft and curled.

The water stains on the ground caused by the rain were instantly evaporated by the lightning. Zhao Zheng, who did not feel much power, stood motionless with an expressionless face.

He stood there dumbfounded, as if stunned, receiving the palm strike aimed at his face, which surprised the person who struck him.

However, his palm strike did not decrease but increased, suddenly becoming three times more powerful. In an instant, the pure yang blazing white lightning in his palm began to spread out with terrifying pressure of utmost strength and righteousness.

In an instant, thunderous sounds resounded and the clear light was as bright as day. This single palm strike, imbued with lightning, strangely displayed a power that made those with a guilty conscience tremble with fear and flee, and even evil spirits and demons retreat in its presence.

As the palm swept wildly, the lanterns in the Taoist temple courtyard swayed wildly, the branches of the flowers and plants shook violently, and blazing white lightning bolts surged and leaped wildly around the courtyard.

However, the large hand covered in lightning suddenly froze just inches from Zhao Zheng's face, and the lightning power instantly subsided.

Zhao Zheng stood motionless, seemingly unaffected by the arcs of electricity and the howling wind, not even a hair on his head moved, exuding an indescribable eeriness.

The person who struck the palm did not pay attention to the strange event; he simply looked at Zhao Zhengdao with his eyes, which were blurred by his own blurred face.

"Why not avoid it?"

"Because I'm not afraid!"

"Why aren't you afraid?"

"Because—I did nothing wrong!"

Feeling that continuing the conversation would veer into a movie-like situation, Zhao Zheng changed his tone and said, "Also, Uncle-Master, if you really thought I was wrong, then you wouldn't have stopped!"

"I—I'm not your senior martial uncle!"

Master Tianyi deliberately lowered his voice as he spoke. Zhao Zheng looked at him expressionlessly and nodded slightly.

"Understood, Martial Uncle!"

"I'm not your senior martial uncle!"

"Yes, Uncle-Master!"

"I'm not your senior martial uncle, you've mistaken me for someone else!"

"Understood, Martial Uncle!"

"."

'

Master Tianyi looked at Zhao Zheng speechlessly, intending to explain, when Zhao Zheng said, "Uncle-Master, the matter of collecting the corpse is entrusted to you!"

After saying this, Zhao Zheng turned and walked out of the courtyard, leaving behind Daoist Tianyi, whose face was blurred due to the spell, and Xiang Yu, who quietly jumped down from the roof after seeing Zhao Zheng leave.

"Master, Junior Brother Zhao saw through your magic?"

'

'

You're asking me? I'd like to ask you the same thing!

Master Tianyi rolled his eyes, not quite understanding how Zhao Zheng recognized him, after all, he had used a concealment technique.

Logically speaking, unless the other party's cultivation level is higher than his, the other party should not be able to see through him. But it seems that Zhao Zheng has seen through him. This is quite puzzling!

Zhao Zheng was unaware of Master Tianyi's doubts. He was currently using the Yin Path to instantly jump to the Changning Temple where Master Zhang was located.

"Tsk, they're even stealing the monks' jobs!"

Upon arriving at the Taoist temple courtyard, Zhao Zheng stared strangely at the two pale, naked bodies in the secret chamber of the Fertility Hall.

Ignoring the Taoist priests around him who were asking him who he was with wary expressions, he took a step and lightly stomped on the ground. In an instant, a black arc of lightning, like black sludge, spread rapidly from beneath his feet.

Ignoring the screaming and wailing Taoist priests of Changning Temple who had fallen to the ground, Zhao Zheng's gaze was fixed on the black mud that reached into his hand as he did so—the Yin Five Thunders.

Or rather—water-dirty thunder!

The Five Thunder Orthodox Method of the Shenxiao School that his master found for him is somewhat similar to the Thunder Method of Longhu Mountain in a certain anime, and it also talks about the distinction between Yin and Yang Thunder.

Simply put, it also depends on whether the cultivator still has primordial yang. If they do, they can cultivate Yang Five Thunders; if not, they can only cultivate Yin Five Thunders. As a result, Zhao Zheng can only cultivate Yin Five Thunders because of the original owner's mess.

However, it's not a big problem. He's been studying biology recently, and he's almost figured out a way to transform yin into yang.

Zhao Zheng used thunder magic to directly kill the remaining fake Taoist priests at Changning Temple, and then took the compensation he was entitled to from the temple for mental distress.

He also obtained some magical artifacts and techniques that he had lost when he was a child. Then, he used the Yin-Yang Path to come to Qingsong Temple, where Guo Qing lived, to repeat his old trick.

A dozen minutes later.

Anping Mountain is located outside Anping County. On Anping Mountain is Anping Temple. The temple has a backyard and a pond.

Abbot Xu of Anping Temple sat cross-legged on a futon with his eyes closed. His hands were in the gesture of embracing the origin and returning to oneness, with a golden incense ball held in the palms of his hands and hanging down at his dantian.

A wisp of light smoke slowly drifted out from the hollowed-out part of the incense ball, and then entered the nostrils with each breath. Zhao Zheng, who appeared on the other side of the pond through the Yin-Yang Path, raised an eyebrow.

"The art of ingesting food?"

The so-called "Eating Technique" is one of the seventy-two Earthly Fiend Techniques, which describes how to improve one's cultivation level by consuming elixirs.

Master Xu did not speak immediately, but slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a foul-smelling breath.

Looking at the fish in the pond, their bellies turned up from the fumes, Zhao Zheng took a few steps back with a look of disgust. This made Xu Guanzhang shut his mouth, swallowing back the words he had intended to say about how his "Collecting the Turbidity Scripture" was indeed related to the art of ingestion.

"And who are you?"

"Zhao Zheng!"

"The name is great!"

That's so bad, you shouldn't be alive!

Master Xu looked at Zhao Zheng, who possessed cultivation, with a strange expression. He didn't quite understand how the other party had successfully cultivated, after all, this name—thinking about it, he asked with a puzzled look.

"May I ask what brings you here?"

He said this mainly because he felt that Zhao Zheng had some ill intentions and was overly domineering, making him feel that the other party was there to cause trouble.

"Simple. I killed Guo Qing, Master Zhang, and Master Qin. To make sure you don't cause me trouble, I've come to cause you trouble first!"

"???"

Do you want to listen to what you have to say? What? To make sure I don't cause you trouble, you come to cause me trouble first?

Master Xu frowned. He waved his hand, signaling the disciples who had come forward not far away to step back. He smiled, having roughly understood what had happened.

"Fellow Daoist, please rest assured. In the cultivation world, skill is always the measure of superiority. Since you have the ability to defeat Master Zhang and the other two, you are in the right. They were simply outmatched in skill, and their deaths are no one else's fault but their own. I will certainly not cause you any trouble because of this."

"???"

No, are you really that easy to talk to?

Master Xu's answer left Zhao Zheng somewhat speechless. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Master Xu chuckle and say...

"However, since you are so eager to test my abilities, I will certainly not let you leave disappointed."

As soon as Abbot Xu finished speaking, he suddenly took a step forward, his figure as light as a crane, his toes lightly touching the surface of the pond.

The water rippled only slightly, without splashing a drop, and his figure instantly darted to the center of the pond and stood before Zhao Zheng.

boom-

Master Xu struck out with his palm. Although there was no murderous aura in his palm, only condensed pure qi carrying medicinal essence pressed down. However, Zhao Zheng could clearly feel the killing intent hidden under this palm.

Good heavens, he's a wolf in sheep's clothing!

Looking at Abbot Xu, who spoke eloquently but acted with no grandeur whatsoever, Zhao Zheng thought to himself that he had learned something, and then looked at the palm strike that contained the meaning of cleansing impurities.

As the palm swept across, it not only dispersed all the surrounding turbid air, but also cleansed away the surrounding filth and malevolent energy.

"You've gone astray—"

Zhao Zheng suddenly spoke up and commented, causing Abbot Xu to frown sharply. Zhao Zheng then gently raised his hand and clenched his fist.

A cracking sound as the air was torn apart was accompanied by a dazzling golden light. As the golden light flashed, the fist tore through the air with a mournful cry, and a sonic boom white wave that could be seen with the naked eye was unleashed by Zhao Zheng.

Immediately afterwards, Abbot Xu watched in horror as Zhao Zheng's punch, delivered from a strange and unexpected angle, struck his chest first.

With a thud, the moment the punch landed, Abbot Xu's body arched like a fully ripe shrimp, his clothes burst open and ripped apart, and he returned to the other side of the pond by the same route he had come from.

"Master—", "Master—"

The disciples watching from a distance stared wide-eyed at the defeated Abbot Xu, then rushed forward in alarm.

Master Xu, however, remained defiant and continued waving his hand to dismiss the others. He struggled to his feet, his face pale and grim, and looked at Zhao Zheng, forcing an unnatural smile.

"Fellow Daoist, your cultivation is truly remarkable!"

"Are you truly at the Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness realm?"

""

Honestly, I find your words really awful!

Master Xu's lips twitched, which made Zhao Zheng purse his lips and not ask any more questions. He just glanced at the Anping Temple in front of him and said.

"goodbye!"

After Zhao Zheng finished speaking, he turned around and jumped into the Yin-Yang Path that he had slashed open with his sword finger. Now that he had finished dealing with the trouble, he didn't need to stay any longer.

As for chatting and discussing philosophy with this Abbot Xu, there was no need to continue the conversation since they were not on the same wavelength.

The smile on Abbot Xu's face vanished as the Yin-Yang Path on the ground disappeared, and he sighed with an ugly expression.

"A new generation replaces the old—"

His words were filled with murderous intent, but it quickly disappeared. After all, he had no grudge against the other party, and he had been beaten up, hadn't he?

Being beaten is one thing, but there's no need for a fight, especially if he thinks he might be the one to die.

[Technique: Earthly Fiend Technique - Ingestion (Incomplete)]

On the Yin-Yang Road, Zhao Zheng raised an eyebrow at the incomplete Earthly Fiend Technique he had learned from Abbot Xu through the Myriad Laws of the State of Being.
